Chapter 3 second act

The first Sicily.a room in the palace Enter Hermione, Mamilles, and Ladies and gentlemen. Hermione take the child.He haunts me all the time, I hate dead people. Maid First, my dear highness, may I play with you? No, I don't want you. First Lady Why, my good lord? MIMILES You kissed me so hard that you still talked as if I were a child. (to Maid B) I still like you a little bit. Maid B Why, Your Highness? Mymilus It's not because your eyebrows are darker; although people say that some people still look better with darker eyebrows, as long as they are not too thick, they can be drawn in a curved shape with a pen.

Maid B Who told you this? MIMILES I see it in the woman's face. (To Maid A) Now I want to ask you, what color are your eyebrows? Maid Jiaqing, Your Highness. Mymilus, you're joking; I've seen a girl with a blue nose, but not blue eyebrows. Second lady of the palace, listen carefully, your mother's belly is growing, and we will soon serve a beautiful little prince; then you will have to play with us, but it depends on whether we are happy or not. First Lady She's been fatter lately; good luck to her! Hermione What wise things are you saying?Come on bro, now I want you again.Please sit down with me and tell me a story.

Is Mimilus a happy story, or a sad one? Hermione, tell me something cheerful, if you like. Mamilles winters best tell sad stories.I have one about ghosts and goblins. Hermione Tell us, my dear friend.Come, sit down; speak, and frighten me with your ghosts as well as you can, it's your art. there once was a man in mimillus Hermione No, sit down and talk; well, go on. Mamillos lives next to the cemetery.I will speak in a whisper, so the crickets won't hear me. Hermione is so good, come close to my ear. Enter Leontes, Antigonus, the courtiers, and others. Did Leontes see him there?Are his entourage there?Was Camillo with him too?

FIRST I met them behind a clump of pines; I never saw men hurry so fast; Till I watched them come into the boat. Leontes How lucky I am to judge well!Oh, it's better to be confused!What a wretched fortune!There may be a spider in the glass, and a man drinks it and goes away without being poisoned, because he doesn't know it; It was about to vomit and mess up.I was the one who had drunk and saw the spider.Camillo is his confidant, and he's his middleman; They're plotting against my life, and usurping my throne, All suspicions are confirmed; The villain I sent, He's paid in advance Yes, he knew what I meant, which made me laugh and scold me for nothing.Hey, what a trick!How did those side doors open so easily?

First Lord This is his power, As strong as your majesty's command. Leontes I know well. (to Hermione) Give me the baby.It's a good thing you didn't feed him; although he looks a bit like me, there is too much of your blood in his body. What's the matter, Hermione?Are you kidding? Leontes Take the boy away; keep him from her side; take him away! (The valet waits for MEMILEUS to exit) Let her play with that wretch in her womb; your belly was made big by Polixenes. Hermione, but I'll say he hasn't, and however bad you think, I swear you'll believe me. My lords of Leontes, look at her, look at her carefully; As soon as you say that she is a beautiful woman, your sense of justice will go on to say, but she is not chaste.You can just praise her appearance, I believe that is worthy of praise; then shrug your shoulders, snort, mouth Hey, these little brandings are common for slander I said wrong , I should say that they are commonly used by mercy, because slander will burn chastity.You just said that she is beautiful, and before you can say that she is chaste, this kind of shrugging, this kind of humming, this kind of hey, has already followed.But let me tell you, though it hurts me more than anyone to admit that she's a whore.

Hermione If it were said by a villain, the worst villain in the world, That would make him more wicked; You, sire, are mistaken. Leontes, you are wrong, my lady, that is why you took Polixenes for Leontes.Oh, you thing!A person of your status, I really don't want to call you that, maybe everyone will follow my example, rudely no longer care about the differences in social classes, and will arbitrarily use the same words to anyone, calling the prince On the same level as beggars.I've said she's a whore; I've said who she's committed adultery with; and she's a rebel.Camillo was her accomplice, and he knew what she'd done with her villainous culprit; he knew she was an unfaithful woman, As bad as the vulgar people call it by the worst names. Face.And she also foresaw their escape this time.

Hermione No, on my life I know nothing.When you understand, how sorry you will be to think how you have humiliated me!My good lord, even if you admit that you were wrong at that time, you will not be able to wash away my grievances. Leontes No, if I mistake the grounds of this judgment, unless the earth is small enough for a schoolboy to spin a top on it.Take her to prison!Anyone who speaks to her, even if he has nothing to do with this matter, will be considered guilty. Hermione was in the midst of a catastrophe, so she had to wait patiently until the sun cleared.My lords, I am not so good at weeping as we women are; perhaps because I cannot shed idle tears, you will have less pity for me; Than a flood of tears.I ask you to judge me according to your circumstances; well, let them carry out your Majesty's will!

Leontes (to the guard) Is no one listening to me? Hermione Who will come with me?Your Majesty, please allow me to take my maid, because you understand my situation and it is necessary.Don't cry, silly girls, there is no need to cry; when you know that your mother deserved what she deserved, send me with tears.The result of my test now will definitely prove my innocence.Farewell, Your Majesty!I always hoped never to see you sad, but now I believe I shall.Come on, girls; you've got permission. Leontes go, do as I say; go! (The guard escorts the queen and maids, etc.) Chen A, please call your majesty back.

Your Majesty Antigonus, you should carefully consider what you do, lest your wisdom and integrity become tyranny.As a result, the three nobles will suffer misfortune, you, Your Majesty and Your Highness. Your Majesty, as long as you accept it, I dare and am willing to pledge my life to guarantee that the Queen is innocent, before God and before you, I mean, in the matter you condemned her, she is innocent. Antigonus If she is really guilty, I will guard my wife like a dog, never let her go, and don't worry about leaving her alone.Because if the empress is not chaste, then every inch of the woman's body in the world is not chaste.

Leontes Shut your mouths! Your Majesty, Antigonus We say these things for you, not for us.You've been duped, and the rumourer won't get a good death; if I know who this bad guy is, he won't be able to live well in this world!I have three girls, the oldest is eleven, the second is nine, and the youngest is only four or five; and if the Queen is unreliable, and it is true, I will make them suffer.I must turn them all into stone girls before they are fourteen years old, so as not to give birth to adulterous offspring; they are all heirs to my family, I would rather eunuch myself than let them give birth to a corrupt family offspring.

Leontes shut up!Say no more!You're all dead noses, cold and unscented; I see it and feel it with my own eyes, just as you feel it when I touch you with my fingers. If so, Antigonus, then we needn't dig a grave to bury chastity; for chastity never existed, to adorn the whole dung-ground. Leontes what!Is my word unbelievable? My lord, In this case I would rather your words be less credible than mine; and however much you may blame me, I would rather the queen be chaste than your suspicions be confirmed. Leontes hum, why should I discuss with you?I just do what I want to do.I have my own rights, and I don't need to ask your opinions. I only tell you because of good intentions.If your perception is so numb, or you deliberately pretend to be dementia, and you cannot or do not want to believe this true fact, then you should know that I do not need to ask for your opinions; own business. Your Majesty Antigonus, I also hope that you only judged it in a calm deliberation, and did not say it out loud. Leontes How can that be?If you are not old, you must be a born fool.The intimacy of theirs is not difficult to imagine; everything can be justified except that I did not see it; and Camillo's flight compelled me to resort to this method.However, it is most important to avoid reckless engagement in such important matters. In order to further confirm this matter, I have sent messengers to the Temple of Apollo in the Holy Land of Delphi; Both, you know they are very reliable.The oracles they bring will tell us all, and will encourage me or discourage me from doing so.Is this a good idea? Your Majesty is well. Leontes I am quite sure that there is no need to know any more, but the oracle will make no objection to those foolish credulous who will not accept the truth.I think she should be imprisoned, in order to prevent her from carrying out the plot of the two escaped men.Come with me; we'll make it public; it's a big deal. ANTIGONUS (aside) As I see it, it's only a joke when the truth comes out. (Exit.) The second game is the same as before.prison cell Enter Paulina and Attendants. Paulina called the jailer and told him who I was. (Exit a page) My lady, you are worthy of the best palace in Europe; how do you live in prison? Re-enter the attendant and the jailer. Sir Paulina, you know who I am, don't you? Jailer I know you are a noble lady whom I admire. Paulina Then please take me to the queen. Jailer I can't, madam; there's an order forbidding audience. Paulina, this is difficult!A good man with integrity, even a well-meaning visitor can't meet him!May I see her maid, please?Which one?Emilia? Warden's wife, please get rid of you servants, so that I can bring Emilia out. Paulina, please, just go and fetch her.You all go away. (Squire wait.) Jailer And, madam, I must be present to hear your conversation. Well Paulina, let's do it, thank you. (Exit the jailer) He is clearly innocent, but he still wants to say that it is pitch black, what a fuss! Re-enter the jailer with EMILIA. Good girl Paulina, how is our virtuous lady? EMILIA At last she came back with all the strength that one so noble and helpless could.No delicate lady could bear the horror and sorrow she suffered; under such horror and distress, she was already premature and premature. Is Paulina a boy? Emilia was a girl, a good-looking child, strong enough to live.She comforted her mother a lot, saying, My poor little prisoner, I am as innocent as you! Paulina that's for sure.Damn your majesty's dangerous mischief!He must be made to understand, he must understand the mistakes he made; it is better for a woman to do this kind of work, I will explain to him.If I can really speak tactfully, let my tongue froth, and stop venting my anger.Emilia, do my best to my mistress; if she dares to trust me with her child, I will show it to the king, and try to intercede for her.We don't know how his heart softened at the sight of the child; the pure innocence of the unspoken often touches the heart more than words. EMILIA Good madam, with your integrity and kindness, this valiant action of yours will not fail to be successful; and there is no one but you to fill this important errand.Please sit next door for a while, and I will tell your respect to my mother; she is thinking of this plan today, but she is afraid of being rejected, and dare not tell a trustworthy person. Paulina said to her, Emilia, I will try my best to use my eloquence; if I have a brilliant tongue as I have a heart of courage, then I will succeed. Emilia God bless you!I will tell the empress.Please come here. Madam jailer, if the empress is willing to hand over the child to you, I will ask you to carry her out. It is inconvenient if there is no order from above. Paulina, you needn't worry, sir.This child is a prisoner in the mother's womb. Once out of the mother's womb, according to the law and the law of heaven, she is a free and liberated person; the king's anger has nothing to do with her. If the mother is really guilty, the fault will not be implicated in the child. . Jailer, I believe you. Don't worry, Paulina; if there is any danger, I can take responsibility for you. (same below.) The third game is the same as before.a room in the palace Enter Leontes, Antigonus, Your vassals, and other attendants. Leontes has no rest by night and day; to endure the situation as it is is mere cowardice, utter cowardice.If the cause of disturbing my peace were removed, or partly, the harlot; for my arm could not reach the harlot's body, and I could do nothing to him; but she was in my hand; if she died , burn her with fire, then I may recover some of my peace.Come on! Attendant A (stepping forward) Your Majesty? How about the Leontes child? First Squire He slept well last night; I hope he will be cured. Leontes Behold his noble nature!Knowing his mother's immorality, he was immediately depressed, and felt infinitely touched, and firmly put that humiliation on himself.Depressed his spirits, lost his appetite, disturbed his sleep, and soon withered away.leave me here alone.Go and see him. (Exit First Page) Hey, hey!Forget about him.Thinking about revenge in this way can only do my own detriment.That person is too powerful and has many helpers, so I let him go for the time being; punish her first.Camillo and Polixenes look on with pride at my grief; and if my strength reaches them, they would laugh no more; but she is in my power, to see if she can laugh at me. Enter Paulina with the baby. First minister, you can't go in. Paulina No, my lords, help me.Alas, are you more fearful of his wicked wrath than the queen's life?She was a virtuous and pure creature, far more innocent than his jealousy. Enough with Antigonus. Attendant Mrs. B, he didn't sleep well last night, and ordered no one to see him. Paulina, don't be so fierce; I've come to put him to sleep.It's people like you who walk softly around beside him like a shadow, and get fussy when you hear him sigh by chance;With all my heart I bring to him a few words of advice, which are the cure for his insomnia. Leontes Hey, who's making noise? Paulina is not making noise, sire; she is here to consult with you whom to christen. What about Leontes!Get that rude woman out!Didn't I order you, Antigonus, not to let her come near me?I knew she was coming. ANTIGONUS I told her, my lord; I told her not to come to see you, lest I displease you and me. Leontes what!Can't you control her? Paulina, if I do wrong, he can have me; but this time, unless he does like you, and lock me up because I did something right; otherwise, believe me, he can't control me of. Antigonus Look!You heard what she said.If she makes her own way, I'll have to let her; but she's infallible. My lord Paulina, I have indeed come; listen to me, I consider myself your faithful servant, your physician, and your most obedient subject; but if you do wrong, I dare not Go along like those obedient people.I say, I come from your good queen. Good queen Leontes! Paulina Good queen, my lord, good queen; I say a good queen, and if I were a man, I'd fight to prove she's a good queen, even if I had no martial arts. Leontes throw her out! Paulina If anyone lays his hands on me, tell him to watch his eyes.I will go when I want to go, but I must first get my affairs done.Your good queen, she is a good queen, has given you a princess; this is, I hope you will bless her. (Put the child down.) Leontes out!Bold temptress!Get her out!Shameless bustard! Paulina I'm not; I don't understand what you mean by that title.It is you yourself who are out of your wits; I am an upright woman as much as you are a madman; and I daresay an uprightness equal to your madness would do well in this world. Leontes, you traitors!Won't you push her out?Take that bastard out to her. (to Antigonus) You worthless man!You're a henpeck, did that hag scare you?Pick up that bastard; say to you, pick her up; give back your old ewe. Paulina If you submit to his violent indiscretions, pick up the child, and your hands shall be unclean forever! Leontes he is afraid of his wife! Paulina I hope you are also afraid of your wife, then you will certainly think your children are your own. Leontes are a bunch of traitors! Antigonus in heaven, I am not a traitor. Paulina I am not; no one is; there is only one person here, and that is himself.For with slander sharper than the sword he slanders the holy honor of his own, his queen's, his promising son's, and his babe; Unbearable suspicion. That tongue-in-cheek shrew, Leontes, who just beat her husband, now comes to me!The little beast is not mine; she is the child of Polixenes; take her out and burn her with that bitch! Paulina She's yours; as the old saying goes, unlucky she is so like you!Look, my lords, although it is a reduced version, the whole face of the father has been copied; the eyes, nose, lips, frown, forehead, and even the lovely dimple on the cheek , that smile, hands, nails, and fingers are all created in a model.O merciful God!You made her so like her father, if you made her disposition like her father, please don't let her have a heart of jealousy; otherwise she might be as suspicious of her child as he was Not her husband's son. Leontes, what a vulgar witch!You bastard, you can't tell her to shut up, and you're damned. Antigonus If you hang all the husbands who are powerless in this work, you will not have a single subject. Leontes I bid again, turn her out! Paulina, even the most unscrupulous and unreasonable fool can do worse things than you. Leontes I will burn you. Paulina I am not afraid; it is the heretic who makes the fire, not the one who is burned.I hate to call you a tyrant; but there is something tyrant about this cruel insult of your queen, which you slander with your mere unfounded imagination; it will call you Disgraceful, ridiculed by the whole world. Leontes, if you are still loyal, take her out quickly!If I were a tyrant, would she survive?If she had known that I was a tyrant, she would never have dared to call me that.take her out! Paulina please don't push me, I'll go by myself.Sire, take good care of your child; she is yours.May God give her a better Patronus!Why are you grabbing me with your hands?You see him doing stupid things and dare not take any action, you are all useless idiots!Good, good; goodbye!We walked. (Down.) Leontes, you traitor, it was you who made your wife play this trick.my child!Get her out!I bid you, you soft-hearted man, go and burn her at once; I want no one but you.Pick her up quickly; report within this hour, and with proof, or your life and your fortune will be lost.If you disobey my orders and dare to offend me, speak; I'll wrestle the bastard's brains out with my own hands.Go, and throw her into the fire, for your wife came at your instigation. Antigonus Not at my incitement, my lord; all my lords here may plead my defense, if they will. First Servant We can prove to him, Your Majesty, that his wife's presence has nothing to do with him. Leontes You are all liars and liars. Your Majesty, please trust us.We have always served you loyally, please don't think we will be unfaithful to you.On our knees we beg you, for the sake of our past and future allegiances, to withdraw this will, which is so cruel and terrible, and which will have unfortunate results.We all kneel here. Leontes I am a feather, and any wind can blow me about.Shall I live to see this bastard kneel at my knees and call me father?Rather than hating her in the future, it is better to burn her to death now.But well, just spare her life; she won't live. (to Antigonus) Come here.You were so kind to work with your godmother to keep the bastard alive She's a bastard, as your beard is gray There's no doubt how you're going to save the little thing now? Your Majesty Antigonus, I will do as long as my strength is capable of justice.I am willing to use my last drop of blood to save innocent people, as long as it is not impossible. Leontes What I want you to do is not impossible.With this sword, you swear that you will do my bidding. Antigonus I will, my lord. Leontes Then do it with care; If you disobey me a little, not only will you die, but your wife who speaks rudely will die, and now I pardon her.Since you are my servant, I order you to take this wild girl out and leave her in the wilderness far beyond our borders. Don't pity her, let her live in the wind and sun, and die well. also good.Since she came suddenly, we will make her go suddenly, you send her to a strange place quickly, and learn what fate has to do with her; Your body will also be punished for disobedience.pick her up! ANTIGONUS I have sworn it, and do it, though I would rather die at once.Come, poor child; may the mighty elf drive the falcon and the crow to nurse you!Both jackals and bears are said to have shed their savage nature and performed such benevolent deeds.Your Majesty, may you be happy in spite of what you have done!Poor thing, destined to be discarded, may God bless you and help you resist this cruel fate! (Hug my son.) Leontes No, I can't bring up other people's children. Enter a Servant. The servant informed His Majesty that the envoy who was ordered to ask the oracle had arrived an hour ago; Cleomenes and Dewin had been to Delphi and returned home, and now they have landed. Your Majesty Chen Jia, they traveled unexpectedly fast this time. Leontes They went twenty-three days; soon indeed; so that the great Apollo would sooner know the truth of the matter.Gentlemen, prepare yourselves, and call a court, that I may formally charge my unfaithful woman; who, having been publicly charged, shall give her a just and public trial.One day she lives, I can't feel at ease.Go, consider my order and carry it out. (Exit.)
